So I'm convinced that I don't have enough CM ever since I stopped birth control. I've been googling ways to increase and improve the quality of CM, and here's what I've found so far:

• drink plenty of water
• take robitussin (1tbsp/day)
• avoid antihistamines
• take evening primrose oil
• drink green tea
• drink grapefruit juice
• avoid dairy products
• eat lots of baby carrots
• eat salty foods like popcorn
• reduce caffeine intake
• quit smoking
• take flaxseed oil (after ovulation)

Please share any experiences you have with any of these strategies. I've been trying Robitussin for the past few days (notice how I went directly to the least natural solution), and I noticed a significant difference after the first 24 hours or so. I always drink ridiculous amounts of water, and it hasn't really made a difference, but maybe it would if you were dehydrated.

I've always found drinking more water makes a noticeable difference.

Never tried any of the other stuff, and I'm not a coffee drinker or a smoker, so I can't say one way or another in regards to that.

A lot of ladies have given great reviews to a product called Preseed, it's a sperm-friendly lubricant, so that's an option too if you are concerned about CM.

Good Luck and babydust!

I've heard of preseed, but here's my problem: At the the start of my cycles, I always look for it online and then figure that it won't be shipped in time for ovulation this month, so I'd better just wait. After I've ovulated, I always think maybe I'm already pregnant and don't want to jinx it by ordering. Stupid, I know.

hey hun if you get it from http://cgi.ebay.ca/PRESEED-8-PACK-25...3A1%7C294%3A50 them they ship to canada within about a week there awesome... they have just preseed too but there deals are great on ovulation/pregnancy tests. i love preseed, it feels so much different than normal lube more natural. hope this helps

Am trying grapefruit juice, cutting down on the de-caff and taking EPO this cycle. Am rubbish at remembering to drink more water though as always out and about. Noticed yesterday for first time more cm than would normally at this time in my cycle, but could be wishful thinking!
